Hrant Dink’s murder carries out for reasons of state tradition: Taner Akçam

Hrant Dink’s murder carries out for reasons of state tradition: Taner Akçam

YEREVAN, JANUARY 18, ARMENPRESS. Seven years have passed since Hrant Dink died. The real criminals are still in freedom, and the lawsuit continues. The first round of the trial is complete, the second one has begun: like Karl Marx's famous words “The first was tragedy, the second was comedy,” Turkish prominent historian Taner Akçam  wrote in his article in “Taraf” periodical, Armenpress reports.

 “Many of us wonder without reason saying why the real criminals are hidden, why this lawsuit lasted so long. The answer is very simple in reality. The consultant of the Prime Minister Hamdi  KILIÇ wrote in Twitter on January 2, 2014: phenomenon called “state tradition” continues in this country. To understand what it is, you may just read a little history. I want to remind that reflexes of our state traditions for defending itself which developed through the whole history are rather fearful. ”Mushaviri was right. The murder of Hrant Dink was just one of those terrifying reflexes carried out by the state. If we had read a little history, we would realize what happened related to his case and would not wonder so much,” Hamdi KILIÇ writes.
